What is the cause of vaginal growth?

The female vagina is a very sensitive area and it is easy to develop lesions due to various reasons. A typical example is the growth of something in the vagina, which must be a gynecological disease. However, since women do not know much about this aspect, they are still very worried and concerned about the cause of the disease. So, what is the matter with vaginal growth? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

It could be vaginitis:

1. Bacterial vaginosis

10% to 40% of patients have no clinical symptoms. Those with symptoms mainly present with increased vaginal discharge with a fishy odor, which is especially aggravated after sexual intercourse and may be accompanied by mild vulvar itching or burning sensation. Examination showed no signs of congestion or inflammation in the vaginal mucosa. The secretions were grayish white, uniform, thin, and adhered to the vaginal wall for a long time, and could be easily wiped off the vaginal wall.

2. Candidal vaginitis

(1) Vulvar itching, burning pain, and pain during sexual intercourse.

(2) Frequent and painful urination. The characteristic of dysuria is that urine irritates the edematous vulva and vestibule during urination, causing pain.

(3) Characteristic secretion: white, thick, and resembling curd or bean curd residue.

(4) Vulvitis - geographic erythema, edema, and scratches.

(5) Vaginitis - edema, erythema, white membrane.

3. Trichomonas vaginitis

(1) Characteristics of increased vaginal discharge: thin, purulent, yellow-green, foamy, and smelly.

(2) Location of vulvar itching: vaginal opening and vulva.

(3) If combined with urinary tract infection: frequent urination, urgency, pain, and sometimes hematuria.

(4) Infertility: Trichomonas vaginalis can devour sperm, hinder the production of lactic acid, and affect its survival in the vagina.

(5) Examination revealed: congestion of the vaginal mucosa with scattered bleeding spots, and a "strawberry-like" posterior cervical fornix with a large amount of leucorrhea, which was grayish yellow, yellowish-white thin liquid, or yellowish-green purulent secretions, often in a foamy state. There are no abnormal changes in the vaginal mucosa of carriers.

The above is an introduction to what causes vaginal growth. I hope it will be helpful to patients. The presence of foreign objects in the vagina is generally caused by vaginitis, but it may also be genital warts. It is best to go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive diagnosis. Only after determining the cause can effective measures be taken for treatment to avoid causing more serious impacts on our health.
